Downstreaming nozzle sizes

I have the pressure pro 8gpm 3500 machine. I also have the downstream injector for 3 to 5 gpm since I will be running 200 ft of hose. My question is do I also choose nozzles based on the 3 to 5 or go with nozzles recommended for my 8gpm? This is for downstreaming house washes and rinsing. Thank you!

I run 250 ft of hose and the downstreamer is in the last 100 ft.so it mostly close by.

If you try one you will get leave all the sized nozzles u have on the trailer.

I carry 4 nozzles in a nail bag on me A black tip a yellow tip this tip and and a m5 xjet.Before this I used the m5 for rinsing but this tip will twist out to very wide and low pressure all the way to straight stream and 3 stories of reach.It's not like the twist nozzles I've used before that were really weak.

Let me make sure I’m following correctly. So you are not physically taking the injector out of your soap bucket before rinsing? Just twisting the nozzle raises the pressure enough and acts like changing nozzles I reckon. I think when he said “lift the soap out” I automatically thought of removing the injector from the soap. If that’s the case then I may get one myself.

Technically you never need to remove the injector but if you have a high flow machine 8 gpm+ then you are gonna limit your flow. If you want the best of both worlds, Bob sells a bypass kit that is a simple twist of the nozzle.

Bob any chance you can show me the bypass kit that Ken is talking about I have an 8 GPM machine. My problem is I have never had much luck down streaming. I have been washing houses for approximately 7+ years with nothing more than an X-jet and a 5 Gallon container of house wash mix. However my right forearm looks like Popeyes....
